Little Inferno Teaser Burns Toys, Memories

Share this:

Tomorrow Corporation (Kyle “World Of Goo” Gabler, Allan “Worked At EA” Blomquist, Kyle “Henry Hatsworth” Gray) have released a trailer for their forthcoming game, Little Inferno. It tells of a world which is suffering a mysterious ice-age, and children who must burn toys to stay warm.

Ou oh! Trying to be clever I see.
Who is this game aimed at?
Young kids would be better served playing with real fire ( we can all remember the fun with that) & us older peeps have already done this stuff already….
So who wants to pretend to burn pretend stuff?

I don’t know why you think this is disturbing, but it’s obviously not disturbing enough. The only thing i got out of the trailer is that the theme song is catchy. Maybe it’s because IИ SФVIЭТ ЯЦSSIД, everyone has to burn their toys to stay alive. In the snow! Uphill! Both ways!

(Or, to be less of a twit, i want to say that the premise is not nearly as disturbing as certain other works. Go read Battle Royale or Nineteen Eighty-Four to see what i mean.)

A must buy? Without even having seen gameplay? Or, for that matter, without even having a description of what the gameplay would be, if we were able to see some? I skimmed the game’s website and even there I couldn’t find anything like that. If I’m blind and/or wrong about that, feel free to disregard this comment.

Now, I’m all for supporting indies, I loved World of Goo and I will keep an eye on this, but despite all that, I won’t declare their games (or anyone else’s) “must buy” unseen based solely on a vague trailer (probably) telling us that they (probably) will have cutscenes with an interesting art style (which may or may not resemble the style found in the actual game) and (probably) some amount of humour.

It’s a must buy for me since I loved their first game, and how good this one turns out is pretty irrelevant really, I will preorder just to support what they do, making original games. It it turns out shite I will not play it, and it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve shelled out $20 for a game I didn’t play, so not a big deal either way.
